    So, first he tells the UK to not bother sending any ships because it’s too late and the war has been won and the Iranian military has been completely destroyed, but then somehow he needs everybody else to do something about Hormuz or he’ll get big mad?

      He just refused help from Ukraine. Either he is demented, or he is just searching for justifications for pushing against who he consider the real enemy, Europe and Ukraine. Or both.

        He’s such a dolt, that he sees getting help as admitting weakness, even when he needs it, and even when they are obviously better at it than we are.

        In this case, Zelensky was offering their excellent drone technology, and which has been kicking Russia’s ass for weeks.

        But Trump turned it down saying the “last person we need help from is Zelensky." He’s just spicy because Z refuses to surrender his country to a dictator just to make Trump look good.

      No you don’t get it. He’s the greatest person on this planet and should thank noone. Other people should thank him on their knees for even being allowed to be in his presence.

    ”It’s only appropriate that people who are the beneficiaries of the Strait will help to make sure that nothing bad happens there,” Trump said.

    The most intelligent statement I have heard from Trump. What can rest of the world do to stop USA and Israel wage war in Iran?

    I’ve had a theory that Trump has never had a real friend. Like ever.

    Seeing how he treats allies during this administration is confirming that

        Crucially though, and I cannot stress this enough, you should under no circumstances let them become president of the country with the world’s most powerful military.

          It’s the world’s most expensive military. With poor leadership and damaged former alliances, It’s not translating into much power at the moment.

    Two weeks ago, he said he didn’t need anyone’s military support.

    Now he says, he needs everyone’s help otherwise NATO is at risk.

    I am not sure what it is now that he needs

    Update ‘a couple of hours later’: he is yet again saying he does not need help. Lol.

    He just wants to find a justification to ditch the money consuming NATO.

    He’s been making beds with Putler Snd Winnie the Pooh and now they have a nice let’s fuck this globe circle jerk thing going on.

    Just wait the moment when China takes over Taiwan and US will do absolutely nothing.

    All the three big babies get what they want. Almost.

    The only country to ever invoke Article 5 was the United States. As things stand there is no scenario whatsoever in which Europeans will once again agree to fight and die in a futile American war in the Middle East. Let the Americans sort out their own mess. Perhaps we should even consider trying to find a solution to resuscitate the world economy together with China, India, Iran and other involved parties in the region.

      I don’t think they can even trigger article 5 this time around since they attacked first.

      It’s a defensive pact, you can people to defend you not to join in a war you started.

        Not only a defensive pact, but limited to attacks in Europe and North America. The US did not want to fight colonial wars for European NATO members.

Rules

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
